Description
This is based on the Persian/Iranian epic called the “Shahnameh” or “The Book of Kings”. I designed the Simurgh (basically a Persian version of a griffin) to be more mammalian (based on a statue in Persepolis) rather than avian (as with a lot of historical illustrations) because I wanted to go for the “man’s best friend” route. I wanted it to be kind of endearing, so I made it a baby that grows up with Zal. The Simurgh in the text is an adult, but it was mentioned in passing that she has a nest, so I’m not totally breaking the myth I sketched an adult first though before baby-fying it, just for anatomy checks.
